It was a great day for many young men who plan to participate in the spring drills. J Three negro boys, in the person (of John McWilliams, a freshman, , of Sydney, Sylvester Harris, also a freshman, from Kansas City, [Kansas, and Charles Bryant, a [sophomore, from Omaha. Spring drills will end, May 2nd, with the annual Varsity-Alumni Game. Many former stars of Ne braska U., will be on hand to play in this popular game. Many other sports will take place on that day. Approximately 800 players from the United States, Canada, Mex ico and Puerto Rico will compete in the National Volleyball Tour nament at Boys Town May 6-9, the sponsoring Omaha YMCA an nounces. Waseda University of Japan spikers have already sailed for the United States and competition in the Boys Town meet. Another j collegiate division team is entered from Mexico City University, plus a women’s team from Puerto RicoJ There will be five divisions,! United States open, collegiate, armed forces, women’s and vet erans. The Lincoln Chiefs announce the signing and optioning of two young baseball players. Left handed pitcher Thomas Moore of Chicago, Illinois, has been signed by the Chiefs and optioned to Galveston, Texas, of the Class “B” Gulf Coast League. Moore is 6’ 2”, 175 and is 22 years old. He served in the Armed Forces for over 3 years and while stationed at Camp Stoneham, California, he won 20 and lost 2 against some of the best college and Army teams in California. Upon his release from the service he signed for a bonus with the Oakland Club of the Pacific Coast League and was □ptioned to Wenatchee, Washing ton, of the Class “A” Western In ternational League. He won his first start there and then devel-| sped arm trouble and when itj failed to respond to treatment, the' Oakland Club released Moore. He has rested since last June and: worked out in a Chicago gym all winter and reported that he was ready for a trial. At the end of his first week of training, the Gal veston Manager, Barney White of the “White Caps” Baseball Club, states that his shoulder and arm look excellent and he is throwing very hard. He is being assigned to! Galveston on a “right of recall” basis. The Lincoln Chiefs also an tiounce the signing of Robert Er ickson of Lincoln, who played service baseball with the Army Air Forces on Okinawa in 1950 and ’51, and last year participated in the Northern Association semi pro league. Erickson is 5’ 11” weighs 165 and is a center fielder.

Private Newcombe recently was assigned to the demonstration sec tion of the medical field service I school at Brooke Army Medical Center here. That makes him idigible to play with the Brooke Comets, one r>f the busiest and most potent non-professional teams in the nation. When he is not putting on dem onstrations to medical corps per sonnel on how to operate under combat conditions, the huge Negro right-hander can be found on the baseball field trying to bake out some excess poundage under a warm Texas sun. Newcombe hasn’t been at Brooke a month, but he is already' in fine fettle on the mound despite the extra weight. He worked three innings last Saturday night against a semi pro team at Waco and struck out eight and walked one while hold ing the opposition scoreless. “I didn’t throw hard," New combe said later. “I guess my big size and reputation must have scared them batters a bit.” Newcombe, who will be 27 when his time is up next Febru ary, realizes that his age is push ing major league standards, but he hopes to get in enough work with the Comets to return to the Dodgers in the form which saw him post a 20-9 season in 1951 after a 19-5 freshman season in 1949 and a 17-8 record in 1950. It is likely the Rahway, N. J., project will get his wish, too. For, Brooke usually plays 100 or more games a season. The Comets have won eight straight without a set back this year. Newcombe got to pitch in but two games while taking replace ment training at Camp Pickett, Va., last year. The, six foot, four inch New combe checked in at Brooke weighing about 245, but has been doing a lot of running in hopes of paring that down to about 230 or 235 pounds. Newcombe is happy that he is assigned to a baseball-minded post, but said: “What I’m really looking for ward to is that Brooklyn uni-, form. That’s a team I love to play! with. It can’t be too soon as far as I’m concerned.” He has been optioned to the El j Dorado Oilers of El Dorado, Ar kansas, of the Class “C” Cotton States League. During service with the Air Force he received the Ko rean Service Medal. He is 24 years old. The Lincoln Chiefs also an nounce the further improvements, at Sherman Field. A public drink-1 ing fountain is being made avail able, something that has never been at Sherman Field before, also the press box has been renovated to make more comfortable facili ties for authorized personnel. 1 FREADRICH I I BROS.

Bewildered 50 R,p Dt 53 Organ of heeriag You Are the Detective You are called to the offices of a local life insurance company. The manager, Curtis Wheeler, tells you this story: “Henry Applegate,' one of ouj | agents, hadn’t reported in to the j office here for the past two days. We didn’t think anything of it, knowing he has quite a large ter ritory, and we just thought he was out collecting premiums and couldn’t spare the time to phone in. This morning he stumbled into the office, telling us that he had been kidnapped and held for these past two days, that" he had been robbed of more than $1,000 in cash premium money.” You turn to the wild-eyed young man, seated in the chair,' his hair disheveled, a bandage over his left ear. “I was walking down the street two mornings ago,” Applegate be gins. “I had all this money I had collected the previous week-end, and was coming to the office to leave it before beginning on my route. A car with two men in it stopped and the driver asked me if I wanted a lift to town. When I got in, the passenger jammed a gun into my ribs, told me to keep quiet if I valued my life Then they blindfolded me, and after about a half-hour’s drive, the car stopped, and they led me in somewhere. They whipped the blindfold off me and asked me to hand over my money. When I denied having any money with me, one of them lost his temper and hit me a terrific blow on the head with a blackjack. I lost consciousness. “The next thing I knew was a terrible headache. I thought I was alone, because all I could hear was the ticking of my watch. But just then the two hoodlums came back into the room, and one of them said they’d been kind of; Jess Williams Spring Service 2215 O Street Lincoln 8, Nebraska Phone 2-3633 worried about me—that I’d been out of my head and babbling i when 1 wasn’t sleeping. The one who slugged me laughed and said he guessed he didn’t know his own strength. Anyway, they blind folded me again, and drove me to the outskirts of town. Before I could remove my blindfold after getting out, they had sped away.” “Could you identify these men if you saw them again?” you query. “Oh yes, I’m sure I could.” “In the meantime,” you then state, “you’ll have to do a little more talking. There’s a little flaw in your story that bothers me.” What is that flaw? Solution Applegate claimed that when he regained his senses all he heard was the ticking of his watch. You wonder how any standard-make watch could run for two days without rewinding. The Internal Revenue Depart ment has ruled that contributions to the American Cancer Society are deductible for income tax pur poses, the ACS points out. _ _ _, GEO. H.
